Drake leaked some official news that’s sure to have everyone on their toes. In a recent interview with John Calipari, head coach of the University of Kentucky Wildcats, Drake let a few secrets out of the bag.

We all know Drake is a huge fan of basketball, so it doesn’t come to a surprise that he’ll be hosting and producing the first annual NBA Awards show on June 26, 2017. This will be Drakes second sports award show that he’ll be hosting. In 2014 he hosted his first awards at the ESPY’s and though he had a great time hosting the ESPY’s he is looking forward to having more control in hosting the NBA Awards. “Ain’t no tellin” what surprises Drake has up his sleeves, but we’re expecting the whole works.

In case you were wondering what artists Drake would like to make a collab with, don’t worry, we got you. Drake mentioned that one artist he would love to work with is the talented Sade, who he had the opportunity to work with but was passed up to work with none only than HOV. He of course also included the beloved Aaliyah in that list along with Bob Marley. RIP to both artists who we all admired, we would have loved to hear what they could have come up with.

We don’t know about everyone else, but we’ll be on the countdown to June 26, 2017 to see how Drake does.
